淑女的欲望

Scarlett saw Rex rise from his chair. He was pacing the room with a dark expression as if a black cloud was hanging over his head.

Then, he suddenly stopped while his hands combed through his messy hair. When their eyes met, Scarlett could see he was angry!

However, she couldn't do anything to coax him now. Because her love for Xander was genuine, and she didn't expect it either.

After a while, she finally dared to say something.

"Brother! Let me finish my words..." Scarlett said softly. "I know this news is utterly shocking, but that's how it happened. After moving in together, we realized our feelings were the same. We fell in love with each other and decided to continue this marriage!"

Rex stood where he was. A frown appeared on his face, and for a while, he seemed to be thinking about something deeply. He didn't say anything or move, just stood with his eyes fixed on her.

Scarlett became worried. She stood up, walked towards Rex, and tugged at his shirt to snap him up from his daze, "Brother Rex!"

Rex still didn't say a word but just stared at her with an unfamiliar gaze she had never seen before.

"I know this is sudden news for you. But I can't avoid it. I can't lie to my heart that I love Xander..." For the first time, she felt this frustrated talking to Rex!

She took a deep breath and poked his cheek with his index finger, only to confirm that the man before her was not a statue!

After Scarlett's hand touched his cold cheek, Rex finally said, "What did you want to hear from me?" He spoke in a slow but clear voice.

Scarlett's hands clenched in annoyance. She didn't like this kind of Rex! She prefers Rex, who talks a lot and often teases her. She couldn't stand the quiet and cold Rex!

After deep breathing, she grabbed his hand and pulled him back onto the couch. After that, she sat beside him.

She took another deep breath and in a defeated voice, she said, "Brother Rex, I just need your blessing. After all, you already think of me as your little sister, just like I think of you as my big brother!"

He suppressed the anger in his chest and took a deep breath. "Is this important to you?" he asked.

"Yes! But if you can't do that... I won't force you." She looked away from him and let out a long sigh. "And I hope you won't be mad at Xander anymore. Be-because, Xander is my husband. Real husband, not just on paper..."

Once again, the room fell silent!

Scarlett knew her words would hurt him, but she had to say it. And she also didn't want to force Rex to immediately bless her relationship with Xander, because she knew something was going on between them — they are no longer friends but enemies!

One of her dreams is that the two men will be friends again. She didn't want them to become enemies, because these two people were very important to her — One is the man she loves and the other is the person who helped her become what she is today.

After several seconds passed...

Scarlett finally heard Rex say something.

"I can't stop you if you really love him. I'll be happy for you, Scarlett..." He smiled before continuing, "I mean it!"

Scarlett finally smiled after hearing those words and saw his smile—even though she knew his smile didn't reach his eyes. She still feels grateful.

"Thank you, brother! Thank you!!"

"But!" His icy voice could make her stiffen. "...tell him, if he ever makes you cry or hurts you, I will come to take his life! You know I can do that, right!?"

Scarlett nodded after noticing an evil fire dancing in his eyes—this look she usually saw when they went out into the fields to hunt for prey! She knew very well who this man was, and what he said just now he would definitely fulfill.

She sighed in her heart, and a wry smile appeared before saying, "I will make sure to tell him!"

"Good! Now, I am starving. I flew here without breakfast."

"Oo, really? Alright, I'll get Cruz to book a restaurant for us." Scarlett stood up from her seat and walked quickly to her office desk. "Brother, do you mind if I finish my work for another ten minutes?"

"Of course!" Rex said.

While Scarlett busied herself behind her computer. Rex took out his phone and typed something.

After seeing what he was looking for, he typed something as the dark aura again appeared around him.

[Rex:] Congratulations, you got her! But, as soon as I found out you hurt her or made her cry...

[Rex:] I'll come to you and send you straight to your coffin!! I mean it, Xander Riley!

For a moment, Rex stared at his phone, waiting for a reply from Xader. But a few minutes passed, no answer!

'This man really is seeking death, huh!?' Rex's killing intent suddenly appeared, but only for a few seconds because he saw Scarlett walking towards him.

He immediately put his cell phone in his suit pocket. "Are you done?" He asked.

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ "Yes, I'm done! Brother, we are going to eat seafood today. You don't mind!?"

"Hmm, it's fine as long as I eat with you!" He stood from his seat and followed her.

Scarlett laughed in joy after hearing his cheerful tone. Finally, her playful brother returned.

"Brother, the seafood restaurant is just a few meters from here. Let's walk there."

"Fine! But don't bring any dogs with us! Especially that idiot Cruz!! I want to spend some time with my little sister before I return to NY this afternoon!"

"Understood, Young master Rex!!" She chuckled while teasing Rex. But later, she suddenly remembered someone who often followed her, Seven. "Should we ask Seven to join us?" she asked.

Rex's steps suddenly stopped. He looked at her surprised, "Y-You know he's still following you?"
